With an .htaccess file, you can determine how the web server that deals with the requests to your Internet sites must act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are carried out when someone tries to open your Internet site and what happens next depends on the content of the file. For example, you could block a particular IP address from accessing the site, which means that the server will decline the visitor’s request, or you can forward your domain to some other URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. You could also use tailor-made error pages or secure any part of your site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven applications, including Drupal™, Joomla™ and WordPress, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
